International Law and the Use of Force: Beyond the U.N. Charter Paradigm

International Law and the Use of Force: Beyond the U.N. Charter Paradigm by Arend, Anthony Clark. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415093040.

When the United Nations Charter was adopted in 1945, states established a legal `paradigm for regulating the recourse to armed force. In the years since then, however, significant developments have challenged the paradigms validity, causing a `pardigmatic shift. International Law and the Use of Force traces this shift and explores its implications for contemporary international law and practice.
